Well here's the shortest update ever, but I'm really excited about both pieces of news:

Later this year will see the release of the first ANIMATED(!!!) film from Tales from Paradise Heights.

​I'm getting together with Darren McGinn, his visionary flare and design skills are well known among Paradise Heights fans as he has worked on posters and trailers for the series, and Justin Wetherill who produced a brilliant score and designed the superbly haunting sound effects for The Haunting of Blaine Manor. ​www.talesfromparadiseheights.com/the-haunting-of-blaine-manor.html

I'm really excited about this, always wanted to do animated tales and this one is very much an experiment as much as it is a tale in its own right.

Below are a couple of very rough story board sketches. More details soon...

And the second announcement is more of a reminder that I have recently launched my art website,www.sinfuljoe.com

I'm still very new to the art world but enjoying exploring and learning, lots of learning. The site is very much in its little acorn stage but I have every intention of turning it into a might oak over the years, the good news being I have already sold my first canvas from the site.

I'll also be starting a blog from there, have a work in progress page and any other items that might be linked to art, the website is still in an embryonic stage, still growing - i.e. I'll be posting anything I'm doing art wise i.e. the storyboards to the film project there etc, not all of the storyboards will be posted though as I don't want to give too much away about the film.

Do visit the site and share it where you can, and if you are interested in having work commissioned do give me a shout through the contact page there or leave me a message here.
